I do composer's demos for jazz big band, small jazz combo, arrangements for folk singers who want a jazz horn touch, chamber orchestra, and symphony orchestra.

I normally mainly use:

  • Presonus Notion for notation
  • BIAB for rhythm section backgrounds and harmonization suggestions
  • Presonus Studio One 6 as a DAW to assemble things
  • Various plugins like Ozone, Melodyne, Pure Limit, SWAM horns, and others
  • Adobe Audition to edit the stereo master Presonus Notion for notation

Along the way I might use ScanScore 3 Pro, Tap Tempo by AnalogX, and/or Transcribe! as needed.
